As the old saying goes, Buddha depends on gold, and people rely on clothing.

Although it is wrong to say that people are based on their appearance, what girl does not want to dress beautifully and be happy for herself without being for others?

“Cinderella”, as a dream musical, exhausts the mind on costumes, and the embroidery, flowers, and lace of each outfit is by no means perfunctory. Let’s take a look at the story behind it!
